Last night was a great moment in American distance running. Galen rupp came away with a silver medal the first medal american has got in the event in 48 years. Along with that Mo farah of great britain one coached by Alberto Salazar the same coach as Galen Rupp.

Evan Jager might go do something crazy in the steeple tonight. He really has nothing to lose so I don't think he'll let this race get super tactical, like the 10k was last night.

IMO, whoever told the leaders to make that 10k tactical really messed up. Galen Rupp and Mo Farah were the premier closers in the field and that is pretty well documented. The leaders should have tried to take the legs out of Farah and made Rupp decide if he even wanted to do anything crazy with the 5k looming, but instead they turned this into the type of race Salazar trained them for. If you watch some interviews of Rupp from as far back at last year, you can tell that this is what they were preparing for, with Rupp saying things like "In College, closing at a 52 was just something you had to do, but it was easy since the pace was slow. Now, you have to be prepared to close at a 52 after running a 62 or something right before." (Paraphrasing)

It's like he knew (along with Farah) that the base cardio level wasn't going to be an issue in the 10k (there wasn't going to be a nasty 5k in the middle of this race or anything like that) but the race was going to be won with 600-1000 left, when people try to start going. So you train for that (the speed work that Farah and Rupp have been doing has been awesome, dropping 51's in practice after tough workouts to prepare for this) and when the time comes, you go.

That being said, the 5k is going to be really interesting, since Lagat is in the field and he's always a threat to win in the 5k, especially tactical races due to his speed. If we see an honest pace anywhere in a distance race, it'll be in the 5K (and Steeple, since Jager has no fear)

They had some beauties in the opening ceremony. Always loved Turkish ladies, in limited encounters.

Oh yes... I did once have a rather odd encounter with two turkish girls though. A friend and me were at a club and we were both extremely drunk. He initiates a conversation with a turkish girl, and her friend drags me away from them. I'm thinking that she wants them to have some privacy so I sit down on a bar stool from where I can see that my friend, within minutes of starting a conversation with this girl, is fingering her at the bar. She was wearing a miniskirt so he had easy access. All of a sudden her friend sits on me, kisses me and starts taking of my pants. I end up falling of the bar stool with her on top of me, struggling to keep my pants on since everybody was looking at me (or so it seemed). We all decide to take the party elsewhere and go outside, where the girl who attempted to take of my pants starts gagging and passes out. We ended up going to the hospital and no one got laid that night after all... :(

Well, back to the olympics...

**** NBC. What is the ******* reason for tape delaying an event at 4 oclock in the ******* afternoon on a Sunday? It's the biggest event of the ******* olympics and I'm supposed to avoid finding out who won until tonight? **** off.
